I agree with you, I also think there's a point where you don't really need to know your shortcomings because they are few and maybe not matter. I think it's more of a thing where you just give up on the point of questioning yourself and use what you have instead of always second guessing and improving yourself but never really DOING anything with your newly acquired skill/understanding.

I think it's more fair to say that people risk not becoming more competent when they don't believe they need to be any more, some just choose a time to think like this when they aren't really all that competent and that can really downplay on their ability.

Basically sums it up in one line. :P
